[opensuse-marketing] Request Support for FLISOL
by llastra＠severus.cl 02 Mar '09

02 Mar '09

Hi! My name is Luis Lastra member of the LUGOS Chile user group, Concepción, Chile and I want to know if there's any chance to get some sponsor or support (DVD's and stuff) for a great show for the latin america community called FLISOL (http://www.flisol.cl/2009/) It's a great spot to show to new ,old, enterprise and goverment users the versatility and power of OpenSuse. By the way, the show is all around the country in almost every region (12) [http://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Regiones_de_Chile] and I know that there's a few more users asking for the same thing from my Country. We're in touch and trying to make this to work (Ricardo Varas as example). ¿Is there any chance to get a "big one package" from you guys (if you find this usefull for the community) and make ourselves the distribution in our Country? Thanks in advance. Best regards. -- Atte. Luis Lastra C.

[opensuse-marketing] [OWN] Nice thread explaining the use of the word openSUSE
by Luiz Fernando Ranghetti 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hi folks! On the opensuse-translation list there was a nice thread explaing the correct use of the word openSUSE: http://lists.opensuse.org/opensuse-translation/2009-02/msg00050.html AJ says that openSUSE is written without the "o" capitalized, always. We should make use of this in the newsletter, even if the articles use writes different (OpenSUSE, etc) Regards, Luiz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

[opensuse-marketing] Weekly News: New Section
by Sascha 'saigkill' Manns 28 Feb '09

28 Feb '09

Hello Weekly News Team, yesterday i called with Jan-Simon. He says me that a new Section is wished from the different Projects. (Idea was from Bryen (suseRocks). So i created an new Template for them. The new Section is called "Projects Corner". The template can be found at: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/ProjectsCorner . The Projects Corner can be published one per month. So the Projects can be publish own Articles, that can't be found at Mailinglists and IRC. I've created the Template 3 Corners: KDE, GNOME and Education. Every Time if an Project has an Article ready, they can post it to the Marketing List. We are publishing this in the Projects Corner. -- Sincereley yours Sascha Manns openSUSE Marketing Team (Weekly News) openSUSE Build Service Web: http://saschamanns.gulli.to Blog: http://lizards.opensuse.org/author/saigkill -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+unsubscribe(a)opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-marketing+help(a)opensuse.org

We use/used this rule of thumb: normal - own notes/texts/parts/sections (e.g. done by editors or defaults) italics - "cited" stuff (e.g. taken from blog posts) bold - Headlines, special stuff, ... I think its important to show the difference between "own" and "cited". We could switch "normal" and "italics" meaning - but thats needs some thoughts/discussion first. Personally found the currently used splitting "natural" - but thats my impression. Lets take the decision as topic for the next meeting. @openSUSE Weekly Newsletter Team: please reply with your thoughts @Klaus: Tnx for your feedback.

[opensuse-marketing] [Weekily News] Icon for Editors Note
by Satoru Matsumoto 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

@Weekly News team As we told at the last IRC meeting, I looked for icons for Editors Note. Please see the draft: [1] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.231 [2] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.232 [3] http://en.opensuse.org/User_talk:HeliosReds#Draft_.233 [1] and [2] are simle, but they look very much like the icon for "Wiki / Communication / Events" in "Status Updates"(*). * http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/58#Wiki_.2F_Communication_.2F_E… So I myself want to recommend [3]. Comments are welcome, and if you can find another better icons, please add to the drafts.

[opensuse-marketing] Weekly News icons
by Javier Llorente 25 Feb '09

25 Feb '09

Hello everyone, I have uploaded two images to the wiki, one for the openSUSE board and another one for Planet SUSE. The previous icons didn't look very good (it seems to me that they were scaled down), so I have updated the openSUSE Weekly News (issue #60) wiki page. Feel free to rename the images to whatever you want. This makes me wonder if the openSUSE Board should have its own logo/icon. Another thing: some icons are a bit bigger than others. I could try to standardize the size.

[opensuse-marketing] [Weekly News] Minor fixes for issue # 60
by Satoru Matsumoto 23 Feb '09

23 Feb '09

-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 @Weekly News Team This is a report from "Chief Proofreader". ;-) I found some minor problems on issue #60. 1) The body of the article "IPTraf" in "New/Updated Applications @ OpenSUSE" - - "PTraf is a console-based network statistics utility for Linux.... + "IPTraf is a console-based network statistics utility for Linux.... 2) "Easgs: Multimedia pack portable or openSUSE 11.1 32 bit" in "openSUSE Forums" Although the original title in the forum is just as it is[1], http://forums.opensuse.org/applications/multimedia/405272-multimedia-pack-p… but considering the meaning, this title should be ... - - Multimedia pack portable or openSUSE 11.1 32 bit + Multimedia pack portable for openSUSE 11.1 32 bit I think the original title itself has a typo and IMHO, it's better to fix it in our Newsletter.

[opensuse-marketing] Re: NewsLetter translation :- Language, Marathi
by Jan-Simon Möller 19 Feb '09

19 Feb '09

See the text of this mail and http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News . There you can find the FAQ. Basically you've to make some choices: 1) full or light version (see the full/light templates, example for light is e.g. chinese or hungarian) 2) template-only or translation-tool for translation The translation-tool is able to replace predefined strings (e.g. Announcements --> Annonces ) and can be configured with a simple text file. The URL of the marathi translation should be for now: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/$NR/Marathi $NR the number of the issue. For the main newsletter its: http://en.opensuse.org/OpenSUSE_Weekly_News/59 Now you can start e.g. with issue 59 to setup your workflow. Feel free to ask anything you need to know.
